Sheinbaum Presents Multibillion Plan for Michoacán in Morelia

The visit frames large cash transfers, rural aid and new roads as tools to cut violence by addressing the state’s social and economic causes.

Overview

  • President Claudia Sheinbaum visited Morelia on Friday to deliver a state-level report that lists projects and program totals and to highlight the Bienestar social programs reaching roughly 1.68 million Michoacanos.
  • Sheinbaum said Bienestar in Michoacán represents about 37,376 million pesos in direct transfers while the state governor cited a broader Plan Michoacán por la Paz y la Justicia budget of roughly 57 billion pesos.
  • Officials gave specific beneficiary figures for key programs, including 660,678 older adults receiving pensions, 58,879 people with disabilities on pension support, and 23,984 youth in Jóvenes Construyendo el Futuro.
  • The plan names major infrastructure and rural works now underway or completed, including the finished Pátzcuaro–Uruapan highway modernization, planned new highways, Lake Pátzcuaro recovery with treatment plants, 54 artisan roads, and new preparatorias and university units.
  • The administration presented the Morelia stop as part of a 29-entity national tour to show results and said federal-state coordination will be essential to turn announced investments into local schools, clinics, farm supports and jobs that officials say will help keep youth in school and reduce recruitment by criminal groups.
